template tools and metadata are no longer supported
A '''template''' is an image of an OS (i.e. a Linux distribution) aimed for installation into a container. Template utilities are provided to assist in the creation of such images, but they are completely optional.
;[[Download/template/precreated|Precreated]]
:Precreated templates of different distributions.  == Unsupported == {{Warning|The software below is unmaintained and unsupported. Do not use it, do not file bugs about it.}} 
;[[Download/template/utils|Utilities]]
:Template utilities are programs designed to assist with template maintenance, such as the creation and update of templates and containers. Currently these consists of [[Download/vzpkg|'''vzpkg''']], [[Download/vzyum|'''vzyum''']] and several versions of the RPM utility repackaged for OpenVZ. '''All this is optional and currently only supported works on systems with x86 architecture and with python <= 2.4.'''
;[[Download/template/metadata|Metadata]]
: Template metadata is data needed to (re)create or update template cache using template utilities. Metadata for a template contains the following information: list of packages that form this template; locations of package repositories; scripts needed to be executed on various stages of template installation; public GPG key(s) needed to check signatures of packages; additional OpenVZ-specific packages.
